The meeting was all but a disaster.
A few hours after he had spoken with the wolf woman he had called the other captains for an emergency meeting.
Yamamoto discovered that each of the captains saw Amaterasu in a different form. Usually between a wolf or a woman of varying colors. He also discovered that Amaterasu was not as cooperative as he had hoped. She had decided to take a nap in one of the lesser used hallways and he actually had to send someone to find her.
Then there were the captains themselves.
Captain Soi Fon had not shown up, she had apparently had a breakdown of epic proportions and could not bring bring herself to face the creature. He could not understand a word she said until a messenger explained the situation to him. The wolf spirit had apparently eluded the onmitsukido in ways that are so embarrassing that Soi Fon had been too humiliated to show her face. He had to wonder how much was the wolf's power and how much as Soi Fon's pride.
Captain Ichimaru had attempted to keep as far away from her as possible. He was subtle about it, but Yamamoto could tell when he started inching away. That was cause for concern as well since Ichimaru had an unpleasant habit of shirking off orders and finding loopholes.
Captain Unohana was not present as her Division was currently overwhelmed by the casualties of the wolf god's antics. He suspected that Kurotsuchi and Zaraki were also factors. She sent notice that she may be able to come in once she has removed all the robotic pieces from her patients.
Captain Aizen, thankfully was both present and calm. He only gazed at the wolf spirit curiosity.
Captain Kuchiki pointedly stared directly in front of him. Yamamoto could feel the irritation rolling off the captain.
Captain Komamura had bowed in deference to her when she had entered. They had apparently carried a short but nonverbal conversation that he could not translate. He also looked slightly uneasy with her presence.
Captain Kyoraku more or less stared at the wolf woman for a few moments before questioning her family members. He apparently thought that the wolf woman was a relative of Captain Hitsugaya.
Captain Tousen had begun to converse with the wolf woman apparently not realizing that she was not human, nor was she peaking. Once Aizen and Ichimaru pointed those facts out the conversation came to an abrupt end. He remained silent for the rest of the meeting either out of embarrassment or anger.
Captain Hitsugaya was initially preoccupied with something and dismissed the wolf woman. It wasn't until get got a second look that he realized that the creature in question was a wolf spirit and not a noble. He them proceeded to gape at it the rest of the meeting.
Upon entering the room Captain Kurotsuchi immediately began soliciting the wolf about becoming a research test subject. The wolf then pointedly looked away with an expression that could only described as put off. Kurotsuchi then attempted to provoke the wolf into attacking him so that he could get more data by directly observing it. It failed due to two things.
The first was the arrival of Captain Ukitake who addressed the wolf spirit as Yukishiro Hanamichi. Ukitake promptly planted himself in-between Kurotsuchi and the god and began talking about food.
The second was the arrival of Captain Zaraki, who arrived five minutes into the meeting and immediately challenged the wolf to a fight and struck at it. The wolf seemed to take this in stride and parried the captain's attacks and dispersing the force through out the room causing a great deal of damage.
Zaraki and Kurotsuchi immediately began to fight over the wolf spirit and had to be pulled apart by the other captains.
At that point Unohana walked in and the fighting stopped immediately. Nobody wanted to get on her bad side. She walked up to the wolf. "So you're the one who's caused all this."
The wolf cocked her head a few times before nodding. -I suppose so. If Seireitei reacts like this each time something new happens, no wonder it reeks of stagnant water.-
Unohana then put both hands on the wolf's shoulders, still smiling serenely. The room grew very cold after a moment while all the other captains flinched internally. "I'm glad you had fun." She then walked over to her spot only to be stopped by the wolf. It was holding a red bone. An apology for unintentionally overworking the medical squad. Unohana carefully took it and put it away. She would examine it later.
Before Kurotsuchi could demand the bone Yamamoto began to talk. "I will get to the point. This is the creature that broke gate earlier. She does not possess any malicious intent."
Komamura began to look very uncomfortable. "Have you got something to say Captain Komamura?" he asked.
"In the stories, That one has has only ever made herself known when trouble had struck or was about to strike. Her appearance in Soul Society concerns me." He answered after a time.
The room became an uproar again. Captains immediately began shouting questions at the spirit. She didn't answer of course, which made the situation worse.
"SILENCE. Any threats that arise will be dealt with!" Yamamoto pointed his staff at the wolf. "You have caused a lot of damage through out Seireitei. You will repair all of it and then you will go between all 13 squads to make up for the trouble you caused." He ordered.
The wolf merely yawned and walked out of the room.
It didn't take long for Amaterasu to repair all the damaged walls. It was close to sunrise before she had reset and bloomed the last tree. Amaterasu took a deep breath enjoying the scent of the flowers. -Aaahhhhh. So nice-
She still got chased around though, mostly because word amongst the shinigami took much longer to spread. She decided to take this time and go back to the stores she and Yachiru had raided during the day and pay back the difference. She would still have enough to recover from her injuries with her mat.
As she went about her business she thought about the people she met and the things yet to come. She knew that something big was going to happen. Big enough that she might even need to summon the other gods, or at the very least, the ones who could battle to minimize casualties.
The first person she had met had been the bald one. Ikkaku. He had a personality very similar to the Canine warrior Tei. Only the human was easier to deal with. Stubborn but loyal.
She then ran into Yachiru. Good heavens what a ball of energy. She and her father would have a field day of they ever met the gekkigami. Kenpachi Zaraki would enjoy sparring with the elder and Yachiru the younger. In fact, the two groups may as well be mirror images of each other. She wouldn't be surprised if the gekkigami appeared using those two was conduits anyway. SHe would enjoy their expression when that happens.
The sixth captain was interesting. It was as if he had lost something very important to him and he is about to loose something else. His thoughts were in constant conflict even though his face did not show anything. Perhaps he is caught between a proverbial rock and a hard place. Two promises? Black mail? Disease? Something.
Meeting the 8th 12th and 13th captains had been fairly entertaining. One being drunk, one being too busy to look at her, and one making up a human identity on the spot. She hoped he would keep that bento box. It had some power in the sun crest that was good for preserving and maintaining temperature of food and other things of that nature.
She didn't expect them to see her as a human. That meant that they were either very perceptive, very powerful, or a combination of the two. Amaterasu had grown past the stage where her appearance was completely dependent on her powers. Now since she had two incarnations it was more dependent on how she was perceived. She had some control over that. She would keep her appearance consistent for the 3rd 5th and 9th captains. They seemed to be affiliated and it wouldn't do to cause discord.
The 4th captain was too much like Yumigami with her war hammer for Amaterasu to comment on. The last thing Amaterasu needed was Yumi coming after her with that giant mallet. Or worse! Yumigami could stop making moon mochi. That would've been a tragedy of epic proportions!
She thought some more, it had been many millennia since the brush gods had been summoned. They would need conduits to do so. Kabegami is still on her tower, someone will have to go up there manually to convince her. It's unlikely that she has gotten any visitors since the first Shihoin climbed to the top out of curiosity. Amaterasu could not be sure if Yoruichi Shihoin's cat form was hereditary, or if she too had climbed the tower. It wasn't necessary knowledge but it was interesting nonetheless.
Gekkigami was likely wandering the world with his son on his back. Perhaps a good battle or storm could draw them in. But she did not have the level of power to summon that storm just yet. Though, it was quite amusing to see the most fearsome of the brush gods with a tiny cub sleeping on his back. It showed that for all his ferocity he was really quite soft.
Itegami had not been seen for a few decades. Even before he disappeared he often complained of the heat. Living human beings had taken after the moon tribe in that sense. Creating come thing wonderful with out looking into the ramifications, losing control of it, and killing some mortals. The gods would step in, take out the threat, and humans would become more mindful. Then the cycle will repeat.
How long would it be? Only time would tell. She would wait here for more then a thousand years if she had to.
-The rivers are looking a bit shallow. They could use a bit of rain.- Thought Amaterasu as she drew two lines.
